Hi there

This is my entry for the Rebrick contest Build your dream Lego Technic Porsche

The model 906 was build in 1966.

Now we are 50 years further, so i thought it would be nice to build a 50 years anniversary edition.

My entry of the Rebricks contest: Build you Dream Lego Technic Porsche.

The Porsche 906 was originally build in 1966.Exact 50 yesra ago

So i thought it will be nice to build the 50 years Anniversary edition.

The real 906 had a great front but a very "simple" back .

So i figured: why not build the model from the old days, combined with a modern feature on it

So heres my creation:

The model has

• Automatic rearspoiler. (This spoiler rise automaticely when in 5th gear) (Unfortunally i only have the normal batterybox for feeding the servomotor.

My plan was to use the rechargable one. That has a speed meter, so that the spoiler will rise slow)

• Full independent suspension of all wheels

• 5 + R gearbox

• Fake boxerengine with moving pistons and airintakes

• Bucket seats

• Working Handbrake

• Opening gull-wing doors and hood

• Real steering

• Front and rear lights with switch

Measuring: L: 48 cm, W: 19,5 cm, H 13 cm

More photos coming soon

enjoy!

Wow this thing looks amazing!! God job!

Welcome to EB!

I think you did okay....who am I kidding....this is some seriously nice work

Very original idea and good looking too!

Wow. The more fine models like this come out the more I feel sorry that I miss out this contest.

The automatic spoiler rising this is something I always wanted to implement.

Awesome job!

Wow. The more fine models like this come out the more I feel sorry that I miss out this contest.

And the harder my judging duty will be

Welcome to EB indeed, this to start with! Very cool build...it has its slick looks...nice!

Nice model, thanks for sharing! I like the originality of your car and the connection to history to learn something about the real car as well .

Wow. The more fine models like this come out the more I feel sorry that I miss out this contest.

I share this feeling every time when I see such great entries and when some contest is beeing closed ... There are some really great entries on rebrick that weren´t presented here on EB.

And the harder my judging duty will be

I´m wondering about the "true" criteria, the winners will show. Because the ones stated on the site sound quite spongy and leave much room for personal preferences:

Overall coolness and originality (25%)

Most inspired details and functions on the model (25%)

Understanding of the Porsche brand design and competition theme (25%)

Overall LEGO Technic look and feel of the model (25%)

Will this contest derive any ideas for TC10?

I´m wondering about the "true" criteria, the winners will show. Because the ones stated on the site sound quite spongy and leave much room for personal preferences:

Some criteria are indeed personal. Overal coolness for example. But rest assured, for all the EB contests my winners ended up on the podium (or top 5 or something)

Will this contest derive any ideas for TC10?

Nope.

thnx everyone.

i will added more detail photos later today (suspension is not show in my video (forgot to film.... )

Great work. Enjoyed the video.

As i promised, here some extra detail photos of the 906

First two comparison photos:

And some photos of how the spoiler works:

When the fifth gear is active, the pushrod activates a switch that will set a servo motor in upward position.

When an other gear is selected, the pushrod set back the switch and also the servo in neutral position

here you see the switch:

And here the pushrods for shifting gears:

(the gears are for the photo a little messed up)

the upper pushrod is for shifting between 4th and 5th gear. When in 5th gear the rod turns the hinge that is connected to the switch.

btw: the 5 + R gears requires only 3 studs wide

In the rear end of the car is a build in servo motor that push the spoiler up

Suspension:

Front i used a basic wheel connector, because of the little room i had because of the very low front hood.

The springs in front are mounted on a rare way. Almost horizontally, but it works fine

For the suspension on the backside i used a different connection.

With a three way connection due a ball pushrod and a single hard spring i think this suspension is great

Several detailed photos:

Cockpit:

Lights:

Frontlights are two Powerfunctions Leds (it has double headlights)

Rear is 1 PF led per side

Hope you enjoyed it!

Why is there a hole in the entry pad, you ask yourself... because unterneath there is the switch for the lights. otherwise i cant reach it:)

The more i view this entree, the more I like it!

Really nice car, well done!

The only thing I don't like is the windscreen. From the side it looks like it has a vertical windscreen. I would have added a black axle thorugh thge center of the windscreen, to "show" the curve a bit.

For the rest, the model is very nice. I like the lines, and the internal structure seems to be very solid as well. The added lights are a nice bonus!

Thnx for the comment.

I realize the windscreen problem. And i try the axle as you discribe, however this wasnt an option, because it turned out not that great.:)
